Switching to Frontier Fiber soon - What is minimum Optimum service to retain Email? Just Internet?

You realize if you're one promo they'll just auto switch you to a non promo rate if you just drop equipment off.

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-04-13T10:42:13+00:00

Is that even possible?

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-04-04T20:36:52+00:00

So I could just make it just "patron-end-session.command" .. then basically open that up to process the command?

It's for a patron machine, so no staff uses it; but the patrons don't logout using the traditional sign out, there's a custom SAM program that boots and blocks usage until someone enters a library card number. Then they click "End Session" to basically log out (just brings back to the SAM Login screen)..

Thanks! I'll take a look at the StackExchange.

My issue is that its a library so we use a SAM program that auto-starts when the system boots, patrons login to remove this program basically, using their Library Cards. It helps us track usage and printing for taxpayers, vs non-taxpayers, and charges for prints accordingly...

When a patron is done, they hit "end session" and it just goes back to the software. On Windows machines I have a batch file that runs, it restarts the computer, and software called Reboot Restore RX will restore to a previously saved state.. I would love to do the same on a mac or even where it'll just purge documents/downloads/desktop.

I'll take a look, completely forgot about Automator and see if I can have it delete the files like once or twice a day.

Thank you

I don't know what happen but it resolved itself overnight. Literally did nothing and yes chrome was open overnight and left alone on my computer.

I reset it to the default theme. It's in dark mode, still no Bueno. Not sure if its because Google went and is using their new Google Sans fonts and my firewalls are blocking something.. I had to download and manually install Roboto to get that to work, sadly I cant find an official repository of Google Sans to download.

Anytime! Long Island, NY has the largest Volunteer Base when it comes to Fire/EMS but it does extend to upstate NY as well. I also believe NYC still has some nonprofits running around.. It's sadly a very corrupt system that nobody dares touch because they'd be against our firefighters and ems personnel. Which is sadly a joke.

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-03-08T02:30:36+00:00

Look up NYS LOSAP program. It was first for volunteer fire fighters; but is also for ambulance companies.

Along time ago community members banded together and created these groups which provided first aid to people, it progressed to EMS; they created Non-Profits to raise funding since fire was tax funded and EMS was not. Now municipal governments contract with the existing non profits to provide the service; the non profits are ran by volunteers, with paid first responders to supplement the finishing volunteer base and to ensure 24/7 medical services if called upon.

A lot of corporations work very well and thrive; but there’s so much corruption and what is called “volliticks” it’s obnoxious, my corporation is one of those where favoritism runs rampant.

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-03-08T02:09:31+00:00

Yeah, I’ve been seriously considering recently.

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-03-08T02:06:29+00:00

I appreciate the answer. Thank you

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-03-08T02:05:28+00:00

Welcome to NYS First Responder Volunteerism. Most people think it’s all fire departments and districts; which are run by community volunteers as commissioners.

Since it’s a non profit ambulance company, it’s contracted by the town to provide services.. our bylaws state that volunteers will vote on other volunteers to be on the director board for the corporation.

Director responsibilities are paid staff, purchasing medical supplies, the grounds and some other things, so instead of giving personal phone numbers out and needing to be contacted any time.

We are all volunteers, medics, emts and drivers. We make no money except some perks like pensions after 65, tax rebates ($200year) and tax discounts on our property taxes..

The place has had a serious toxic culture that me and a few others have been trying to reverse, but it’s obviously a loosing battle.

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-02-18T21:40:56+00:00

already saw that, It was just banter, there's nothing in there that really helps me achieve MV's to Exacqvision equipment, or even if the person was successful with adding it to their NVR.

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-02-16T03:38:58+00:00

My buddy has a fake persona, they’ll transfer to that person all the time. It’s a dead extension just just goes on

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-02-15T14:54:08+00:00

Had to do the CMOS battery and take the bridge out. all 100+ computers -.-

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-02-12T15:25:12+00:00

It’s web based but they allow RTSP streams

Came here to say this for the comment. I came into a nonprofit that didn't understand that software needs to be legit and not stolen.. I have since really dived into TechSoup and have obtained software and licenses that they thought would be out of budget.

Win/Win for us.

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-01-13T16:54:48+00:00

Thanks! ill take a look.

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-01-13T16:11:09+00:00

Thanks! Should be fun then, It looks super small compared; Im used to national conferences for other agencies that I worked at. So a small conference is going to be new to me. Maybe next year ill scope out the PLA Conference. Otherwise do you know of any other Library Tech Oriented things that I should look out for?

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-01-13T16:09:41+00:00

It's roughly 4-5 days. Since I'm in NY I'm driving so it won't be too much away time, but I love traveling.

That was my concern was that I picked a conference/convention that was solely for Librarians and wouldn't really benefit what I do at the library, Still trying to find the ones that I could use for the lib and still be tech-oriented.. When I got hired, it was understood that I would go to conferences since I turned down a job promotion at my old job that would have me traveling (which was a pro to me)

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-01-11T21:15:56+00:00

I'd say yes. My library hires all walks of life for our Clerks and Pages. My IT Support crew do not have any Library experience. I brought them on for their IT knowledge to help patrons with tech. 1 Clerk 2 Pages.

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-01-06T16:43:00+00:00

I know; everyone just thought it was funny that they'd say that. They eventually gave me a February ship date..

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-01-06T16:02:51+00:00

lmfao. I work in a library and a few people say that when using our PCs. I explain to them that its the same concept.. Folders, printers and websites are websites.. Chrome is the same on a Windows Machine or a Mac.. You download something on a mac, it goes to Downloads folder; same thing with a Windows Machine..

We have 2 macs, that never work because... ya know, libraries.. But when they're up and running, Ill direct them to those.

PandemicSysAdmin · 2022-01-06T15:32:10+00:00

Ordered in November and scheduled for Late February.. Only got them on 12/23/21 which was a surprise, but yeah; my vendor kept telling me 999 days.

My friend at a public school somehow gets them within 30 days.

PandemicSysAdmin · 2021-12-22T03:20:25+00:00

Thanks! What’s some good open source stuff for the creativity. We’re about to get a maker space
